As you can see in total they size 32K.

After

I am creating the zip using the command bellow:

zip -r myfiles.zip *

The file was created successfully but now its size is 20M, as you can see bellow!

An individual directory always shows a false size when viewed with ls - what you want to use to check before is du - ie, du -sh *.

A good explanation of what the size of a directory means is on this Q&A - What does size of a directory mean in output of 'ls -l' command?
